I own a LG DVD Recorder (LGR435) that I have tried all the recordable formats with (+RW, -RW, +R, -R) and they record just fine.

I recorded a couple of DVD from satellite TV on a -RW in VR mode (I maybe should have recorded it in Video mode)... I have finalized them as well. These DVDs have trouble playing in most DVD players, but play in the DVD recorder just fine. I really need these two DVDs.

1. Is there a way to convert them to a readable format? Doesn't CyberLink have software that does this? Is it called Power Producer?

2. Is there any freeware DVD video player software out there that I could use to play these DVDs on my new Dell laptop?
